A word on risk
Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors,
industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform
well. Real estate investments are subject to various risks, including fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower income
than expected, and potential environmental problems and liability. Please consider all risks carefully prior to investing in any particular
strategy. A portfolio’s concentration in the real estate sector makes it subject to greater risk and volatility than other portfolios that
are more diversified and its value may be substantially affected by economic events in the real estate industry. International investing
involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity particularly where the underlying asset comprises real estate,
less government regulation in some jurisdictions, and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or
other developments.
